SAN MARCOS: Beer robbery gone wrong

SAN MARCOS ---- Two juveniles assaulted a clerk Saturday night
at a Mission West Market in San Marcos after he reportedly caught
them trying to steal beer, said sheriff's Lt. Marco Garmo.

Sheriff's deputies responded to an attempted robbery call at 478
W. Mission Road about 8:40 p.m. A supermarket clerk said two
juveniles, who looked drunk and smelled of alcohol, were attempting
to steal beer when he caught them, said Garmo. The boys assaulted
the clerk, left the beer and were last seen running east on West
Mission Road.

The clerk sustained no injuries.

Two suspects were described as 16- to 17-year-old Latino males
with light brown skin. Both are about 5 feet 4 inches tall with
medium builds and neither have facial hair. The first suspect has a
shaved head, brown eyes, and was wearing jeans, a black-and-white
jacket with squares, and white shoes. The second suspect has dark
hair that was slicked back and was last seen wearing a baggy, black
hooded sweatshirt and baggy jeans.

There is also a female suspect who may have been the driver,
said Garmo. She was described as a 17- to 18-year-old Latino woman
with medium brown skin. She is about 5 feet 3 inches with a skinny
build and shoulder-length brown hair. She was last seen wearing a
baggy, black, hooded sweatshirt and has a chest tattoo on her left
side.
